Last month, I had a great conversation with my man Mtume Gant on his podcast Within Our Gates, which examines cinema and the arts from a radical left perspective. We talked about the 1972 film Top Of The Heap, which was produced, directed, written by and starring Christopher St. John. Released during the heyday of blaxploitation, it sidesteps a lot of that genre's tropes. A truly unique and recommended piece of Black cinema.
